Fabulous Island Historical Fixer Upper on Millionaires Row
Fabulous Island Historical Fixer Upper on Millionaires Row
Truly a Victorian renovator's dream come true with a location out of Nirvana itself, your jaw will drop! Just send us over with a boat load of off-white paint and some rollers, then leave us alone for awhile. When you come back, a transformation from glum to glamorous will have taken place before your very eyes! Then sand and dark stain the wood floors to make it dramatic and you're done until you eventually feel like getting to the baths and kitchen. Since it's perfectly livable otherwise, you can take your time with the rest and it would be nice to sit and rock on the front porch watching the leaves turn. The exterior is already lovely and the bones of this house with its huge ceiling-to-floor windows and light filled rooms just can't be beat anywhere!
It's an island . . and its yours with only one neighbor! Wave and talk to the international freighter crews as they pass within chatting distance from the shore on their way from Montreal into Lake Ontario! You never know what fascinating ship captain you may befriend and have as a dinner guest one day!
